Nicole Scherzinger Reveals She Suffered From Major Self-Esteem Issues

The 36-year-old former Pussycat Doll spoke to TheEvening Standard during her album launch at Café Royal in London's Regent Street on Tuesday. She described the writing process as a form of "therapy" which helped her overcome self-esteem issues.

"I wasn't enough, that I wasn't pretty, that I was fat, and that I wasn't worthy of more," she explained to the newspaper.

"It's a very personal album to me. It's a transitional album, and it's very honest and authentic.

"Everyone always has these pre-conceived notions - that you're glamorous, you don't have any problems, you don't have any issues, and we all battle with our own issues."
